Design Goals

The scope of the task is roughly similar to 4.x, but context menus
did grow out of proportion in recent releases. Rather than allowing
access to the whole apps functionality they should focus on the most
commonly used actions that are possible with the given
selected/moused over object.

Target Audience

The target user for this
feature are medium advanced Seamonkey that are familiar with
right-clicking Win32, Linux) or control-clicking (MacOS) to invoke
context/selection sensitive commands.
